I just purchased this watch in Las Vegas last week. I got so lucky as I was going into a Cartier Store to buy a black face. When I seen the green with the green strap I was hooked! got the Lagre model with the date and I love it!!! This is my second Cartier and I love it!!
Congratulations on your new Santos. I’ve had mine for close to three years, and I can tell you the scratches will eventually all come together, and you won’t even notice it after a while.
Done deal!! Thank you...I love Cartier my x wife worked for Cartier we had many watches that both would wear. I don't mind a watch scratched up I wear my Nautilus 5711 everyday it is bomb proof. Patek is not a great service company they show favoritism with their customers $$$$$$$$ . Back in the 80s they were pompus with service like Ferrari. Cartier i own mechanical pencils and pens. Always a treat to have them service. The watches are loved by ladies they are truly sexy watch. My Patek no one knows what i have on only guys that love cars, watches and coffee 😮!!!
@@BIG2hats I love it on the indian dial exclusive, the one available in the middle east limited edition, that is the perfect green cartier santos watch, pretty difficult to get a hold of in Europe for a decent price:)
I’ve just purchased a large green santos, stunning. Shade of green is subtle. Med was too small unfortunately for my 8.5” wrists and huge hands. Large is a lovely fit for a larger guy.
Thanks, mate, great review! I vote for green leather strap, so much more unique. Dark green dial makes it very versatile but less flamboyant and interesting looking. I guess it depends on your collection. If that's the only watch - that's great, but if you have quite a few... In terms of scratching the bezel, well, consider this as patina on your expensive shoes. Relax and enjoy ownership of a great timepiece.
@@TheWatchOut the fact you have 2 bracelet options out of the box is quite remarkable too. I'm sure most people will utilise both options. In terms of scratches.... these watches are infamous in that regard. Everybody who makes some research before buying should know about that aspect. It's a bit strange to me hearing this from you. You should've known what you're getting into. Personally, I think you'll go through some time with the watch and just accept the character of it. Just like creases and patina on good shoes. Enjoy!
The value is enormous. This watch, so versatile and so beautiful with two awesome straps (steel and alligator) is nothing short of an awesome proposition. I have the Santos de Cartier Grey with ADLC bezel,….which I am really enjoying,…but I might have to get the Large with the green dial. Can’t resist. The jeweler of Kings!@@i.o.3563
Good review. I like both green strap and bracelet. The green strap compliments the dial and looks more dressy. Santos is one of my favorite Cartier. Cartier brand in my opinion is more gentlemen watch and would say if you collect watches definitely should be in your collection 🤔
Congratulations! Brilliant video. Nice to see an Indian watch review channel. I got a dual colored large santos white dial last month and just love it. Keep up the good work. Oh and I would’ve preferred a more sun burst green dial something like the IWC does on the pilot.
One more thing. Can you shorten your instagram handle. It’s too long to find or type. As you grow a shorter handle helps people tag and reach out. Suggestion. Cheers & good luck.
To be fair, I collect scars. So I enjoy scratches on my watch, because they too record my life (and it is less painful ;)) to the point I will ask Cartier not polish my watch when I will have it serviced in a few years. I think your Green Santos is the most beautiful of the line, and will be even more awesome to wear once the green trend will pass. I was to get the same, but sadly it didn't fit right on me. Nevertheless after trying many models I managed to get the Wow effect with the blue dial. Medium is indeed the size to go with. Very elegant. Congratulations
I am delighted with the fit and presence of my Medium Santos with the white dial. The blue crocodile strap is lovely and very comfortable. I really like the 'bolstering' of the strap which integrates into the case. The Gold Bezel on the two tone seems to help minimise the scratches - I give it a casual rub with a jewellers polishing cloth now and again. It's not my daily watch because nothing is anymore ... I rotate my small collection. The slender curvature of the watch case rear and the curved sapphire crystal are a delight and the watch hugs my wrist like an old friend. It is true that the white dial is probably more instantly legible than the darker dials. The Cartier de Santos is immediately identifiable at a distance - to those who might care about such things. I paid a hefty additional price for that small 18ct gold bezel .....there is a slight decline in the value of my watch but frankly it is academic - it's not going anywhere else!
I bought a blue dial when they came out... liked it, but ended up selling it. Worst decision ever, miss it so much now I'm looking for another, it's just whether to go blue or green dial. Just a hugely underrated watch.
When I fist saw the green dial, I felt instantaneously in love. So I tried it. But something was not right. Then the seller brought me the blue one. It felt as the blue was the perfect watch for me. So I still think the green is absolutely awesome. Nevertheless the blue is like a second skin to me 😊 I guess it goes exactly the other way for some other people.
Agree the strap is looks awesome on this watch,…but the steel bracelet is simply unmatched across all brands and collections. This is the best bracelet made.
Great content as always. I'm the same way. Didn't appreciate Cartier, thought it was too effeminate for my tastes. This one changed my mind. Fun fact, the Santos was the first pilot's watch. Subbed on Insta!
came to ur channel just now as started in watch industry and wanna say ur way of presenting everything in simple and calm manner is awesome man,at last just felt missed the giveaway lol would love to wear that classic seiko haha,is there anything else for a new mate in ur watch club man that u may not wear anymore?
Glad you like the style of videos mate. I don't know anything just quite yet, but I may do a giveaway when the channel reaches 5k subscribers. So stay tuned for that!
Recently bought my wife a Tank and the sales lady was working hard to sell me a watch, I tried on the Santos medium and wow what a nice looking watch! I really liked it but not a watch guy so would never spend this kind of money on a watch.
Santos is a nice watch. However, the absence of a display case back and the non-standardized direction of the screw heads all over the watch gives it a disorganized appearance to me, contrasting with it with the AP Royal Oak and Bell & Ross BR-03-92.
Great Watch. I initially brought the medium but had to go back and get the large. It’s fine on the the metal bracelet but it’s a little too small on the leather strap.
I wish the dial was a brighter shade of green. I’m still liking it but hesitant to get it because of the problem with scratches on the bezel. I have a Santos-Dumont which I’m also very careful to use. Do you think the scratches come from your sleeves rubbing against it?
You're right. A brighter green dial would've been more visible. Yeah, I think everything scratches it including the sleeves. But I think that you will get used to it in a month or sooner.
i saw this watch in the wild and inquired about it from the gentlemen wearing the watch. the green dial was the most stunning i've seen in person. to my surprise he said that it was a replica. the dial was such a deep green emerald i couldn't take my eyes off it. the watch was fully functional including the easy link and quick release on the bracelet. i'm still shocked when i think about this. this is the reason i haven't bought this watch because i know there's a version of the watch that in my opinion is better
I saw the watch yesterday and making up my mind whether to buy or not . The review about the scratch prone bezel and reflection is making me rethink . Is it a good enough reason to avoid buying and looking at other brands ?
The reflections aren't a big deal. They just make filming the watch annoying. The scratches are real though. But I wouldn't say that they should be the reason to avoid the watch. You would just have to learn to live with them. That's just my opinion. Hope it helps!
Unfortunately, I don't have a scale, but I'm looking to buy one. But, it's pretty light. Lighter than most watches on a bracelet. Being pretty thin also makes it feel lighter
@@TheWatchOut when I move my wrist too fast, I can hear something from within the watch. I haven’t tried to intentionally either. I’ve been deciding over whether I should take it in for a check, but I am scared they will keep it for months.
@@TheWatchOut yea that’s what I think it is as well. I’m hoping it’s just normal sounds, i don’t mind that. I just don’t want there to be issues down the line where I have to let the service center hold it for a year or something like that. Thank you for your responses btw, very helpful.
@@blert2281 if you're really unsure, you could just take it to your AD and ask them to have a look at it. They should have a watchmaker who could tell you more
New santos are too expensive,i remember when i buy a santos galbee steel automatic in year 2003 and cost new 2600$..when rolex oyster cost 6000$ at this time,today the rolex oyster perpetual cost 6550€ and the santos 7300€..something is wrong..

This is an awesome watch. The green dial with the green leather strap is phenomenal! Wear it and enjoy it. Don’t worry about scratches.
Nice watch but gives me old man vibes.

they shouldve used a emerald stone in the crown to match the green!
Agreed!

I thought that too, but it would break tradition

I bought the two toned Santos a couple of days ago, and I’m tempted to exchange it for the Green. I think it’s stunning in all it’s Smokey glory.
Tough choice!
Thanks, mate, great review!

@@hectthorno584 That's awesome to hear. Hope you enjoy your beautiful Santos!
Oh just beautiful 😍 now I really want one !!
I think it looks a lot better on the strap, just my $0.02. It’s a beautiful watch regardless. Enjoy!
Agree the strap is looks awesome on this watch,…but the steel bracelet is simply unmatched across all brands and collections. This is the best bracelet made.
Great watch, great video .. 👍
Covered almost every point 😊
Glad you liked it! :D
do the pins have loctite on them? thank you for showing how the bracelet and strap work. hate how other channels talk about it but never show how.
Is loctite some sort of glue? No, the pins don't have any glue on them.
Yeah, that's something that annoys me too. Which is why I showed it here
Thank you mentioning your wrist size, it helps a lot. I can now gauge how big is the medium size 😊
Exactly. That's why I always show wrist shots and mention my wrist size
That’s one of the nicest watch designs. Great review. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
I have the Large model its gorgeous. Great review!
They are fantastic watches 💯
Beautiful watch! I’m thinking of the medium white dial at the moment.
It's a lovely watch. Go for it!
I agree that an emerald green jewel in the crown would have been great.
Great videos and agree with all your views on the santos
Glad to hear it!
Santos is a stunning watch, and the bracelet is incredible. For the price, they really need a newer movement with better power reserve.
I am looking forward to mine scratching at the polished bezel is just too blingy for my taste. Need some battle scars 😅
That's a great attitude to have. Wish I had the same!
Gorgeous piece - I wish Cartier made a rubber strap for this, for when you go “full” sports mode
@@BenMwatches Agreed! That would be cool
The green strap looks amazing😮😮😮

The green strap comes with the watch. So yeah, both the metal bracelet and leather strap are included
I got the same watch with you and love it so much. I also have YG Santos in medium size, it looks very elegant and classic.
That's great. Enjoy your amazing watches!
Walking around the house or talking on the phone. Lol, love your humour.
Might sound funny, but it's true 😨

I get it. It's a beautiful watch. But you really have to be into watches to want to spend 7k on it.
Santos is a nice watch. However, the absence of a display case back and the non-standardized direction of the screw heads all over the watch gives it a disorganized appearance to me, contrasting with it with the AP Royal Oak and Bell & Ross BR-03-92.
Great Watch. I initially brought the medium but had to go back and get the large. It’s fine on the the metal bracelet but it’s a little too small on the leather strap.
What's your wrist size?
Nice video. I have the classic white dial and find it perfect
Thanks man. Yup, the white dial looks classy and timeless. Wear it in good health!

@@ittybitcoin oh wow. That's quite surprising to hear
Great video and a lovely watch. Wish there was a brushed bezel option.
Fully agreed. Would love to see that as well. But I don't think Cartier will do that
Love it! Do you think this medium Santos can also be worn by a women?
Of course! It's a great unisex watch
I bought the white dial after much thought. On this model I like the white or the blue better. The green just doesn’t pop for me.
I get what you mean. Enjoy your watch!

Did you buy from India or abroad ? Is there a better price abroad ?
@@ajeshgeorge I live in the US, so I bought it from here.
I am not aware of the availability and price in India
So beautiful…still trying to justify buying it!
I can understand. Us watch nerds try to justify this hobby by any means possible 😅
Cartier is THE greatest watch brand. Not even close.
any chance you could put it on a scale? I'm wondering what's the weight of the watch on the bracelet.
Unfortunately, I don't have a scale, but I'm looking to buy one.
But, it's pretty light. Lighter than most watches on a bracelet. Being pretty thin also makes it feel lighter
Do you ever find that the steel bracelet pulls your arm hair when wearing it all day long?
It can sometimes get a little uncomfortable after a while. But I haven't faced hair pulling.
Have you?
I would love this green dail in a gold tone case❤
Something like the new Vacheron Overseas?
@TheWatchOut God yes, that would be beautiful, maybe to expensive dou.
I checked the watch at the boutique. I think the dial is missing some details. The green feels foggy, maybe due to the transparency of the crystal.
It does look foggy in some lighting conditions. I feel that it happens because of how reflective the dial is.
Stunning watch
It really is!
Bro where can I buy this strap from? Tried every platform but no luck
It came with the watch. I didn't buy it separately.
So perhaps Cartier themselves will be able to sell you this strap
Definitely on the list.
it's a work of art
Agreed!
Does your watch make a sound when you move your a little too fast? Like a mechanism winding Or something like that?
No, I've not experienced that. But I've never tried to shake the watch internationally either
@@TheWatchOut when I move my wrist too fast, I can hear something from within the watch. I haven’t tried to intentionally either. I’ve been deciding over whether I should take it in for a check, but I am scared they will keep it for months.
But it wouldn't be unnatural if it does. There will be a rotor inside which spins to wind the mainspring.
